We've traveled for the past 20 years on vacation when we can get time off from our frantic work schedules. Vacation time is our pleasure, travel is our child. We stay in Bed and Breakfasts, seek out the most local and authentic experiences whenever possible. The reputation of Aravon Evi was the deciding factor that led us to this family... More

I must say it was our best stay and most pleasant experience in Europe or Asia so far! This place is so relaxed .... a typical Turkish village experience, ideal for visiting all destinations in Cappadocia. Though a 10 km drive from Urgup, it doesn't matter much as Okan is a wonderful host and he will take care of everything...including... More

We did not know it was out of Urgup and the night of arrival, we were surprised, but as soon as we arrived there, we felt so comfortable as at house of some friends. The tips and explanations that gave us Okan, not only were useful. We spent four days and four nights excellent, with tours, excursions and meals, surely... More

Staying up late and listening to the murmur of the locals just below, watching the full eclipse over the ridge, and waking up to the sounds of a sleepy, country village. Fantastic place, great food and amazing hosts. Hoping I can get back there some day in the future. Would have loved more time to just hang out in the... More

And is was amazing! After the first email, Okan, the owner (with his family), was really friendly and helpfull. Once we got... More

If you want to really enjoy a relaxed holiday in a unique Turkish Village in CappaDokya Choose Ayvali.

Sight seeing the unique CappaDokya... More

Everything the other reviews said about the pleasure of staying here is true! I'm so glad we chose this small property for our time here. It is far enough away from the bustle of Gerome and Urgup, to really feel like we were getting a genuine experience of rural Turkish village life, rather than a touristic commercial experience. The drive... More

A great family run lodge in a village about 15 minutes from Urgup. There are three rooms all of which are very nice. The family cooks the food for the restaurant and it was always pletiful, delicious and local. Okan was always helpful with good advice on what to visit and where to eat and is a great help in...

My husband and I really love this hotel and definitely hope to go back. Okan, the manager was very helpful responding to our emails even before we left for Turkey. This hotel is run by the family. Okan's father was waiting at Kayseri airport to pick us up and it took about an hour to get to the hotel. Okan's... More
